Case-Based Critical Thinking Questions Case 8-1 Sam is putting together a presentation in which she explains how holographic storage works. Researchers recently demonstrated the ability to store data  __________ in synthetic crystals, which may eventually lead to a disc that can store 360 TB of data and be stable enough to essentially last forever.
A)suspended
B)as light pulses
C)in 4D
D)in 5D

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The option "in 5D" is the correct choice, as the statement in the question refers to the recent development of data storage in synthetic crystals that can store data in five dimensions (height, width, depth, plus two additional dimensions related to the polarization of light). This technology has the potential to lead to a disc that can store 360TB of data and last indefinitely.
